some tutorials/ideas needed

[scorpion]

hi all need some help or ideas

i am making a picture for my college calendar and need to right "students online" across another image i have made

my idea for this is to have a sort of kiddish font trailing off to either a pen or a little kid/stickman

so can somone help me find or suggest:

1) a way to draw a little character (like a little stick figure or something (if i use circles etc. it looks crap)
2) a pen/pencil tutorial
3)a brick effect (for another idea incase that fails)

any help will be great
